Teeth Whitening
A brighter smile can make a big difference to how you look and feel. At Halo Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening in Sevenoaks to safely lighten the shade of your teeth. This treatment is designed for patients who want to refresh their smile in a comfortable and predictable way.
What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that lightens the natural shade of your teeth. Over time, teeth can become stained by foods, drinks, smoking, or simply through ageing. Professional whitening treatments use gels that contain whitening agents, applied under the guidance of a dentist. Unlike shop-bought kits, professional whitening is tailored to your needs, ensuring safer and more effective results that look natural.
Benefits and Suitability
Teeth whitening in Sevenoaks may be suitable if you would like to:
- Brighten teeth that have darkened over time.
- Reduce stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking.
- Refresh your smile ahead of a special occasion.
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable for treatment. At Halo Dental, your dentist will first assess your oral health and discuss your options. This ensures whitening is both safe and effective for you.
The Treatment Process
The whitening process usually involves two stages. First, impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom whitening trays. You'll then receive whitening gel to use at home with these trays, wearing them for a set time each day as directed. Some patients may also have in-practice whitening for a quicker result. Your dentist will guide you throughout to help you achieve a shade that looks natural and suits you.
Aftercare & Next Steps
Results can last several months to a few years, depending on lifestyle habits. Regular brushing, dental check-ups, and limiting staining foods and drinks can help maintain your brighter smile. To begin your journey with teeth whitening in Sevenoaks, book a consultation with Halo Dental today.
